A chaotic Chicago streetcar scene shows a young mother refusing to give up a seat to a crippled woman with a child. The guardian sister of a Cook County judge receives the baby as thanks, while bystanders Vue scornfully. The article shifts to other brief notes and quips from various columns.
A compact, period voice collection noting how fiction teaches romance clichés. It parodies tall heroines and dubious standards while sampling short humor items from Youth's Companion on etiquette and social foibles, including a reflective dog anecdote and a quip about love and fatigue.
A fragmentary item notes a child mishearing workers on a tall steeple as people going to heaven and jokes about a long ladder. A quip about hair turning white under care attributed to Dr Samuel H Dickson is cited from the New York Times. A brief odd exchange with Mr Winkle mentions a missed letter and a distracted mind.
A burst of antiquated verse extols divine power in turning moisture to wine, then shifts to short items on disease in wood, fur riches of royalty, and satirical quips. The fragmentary prose moves through religious imagery to societal musings and light humor.
A mixed column quotes opinions on dog affection and women’s pockets. It questions male tolerance to animal caresses, argues for female purse habits, and includes anecdotal cures for croup and a note on London water history. Also mentions a barber shop, lighthouse keepers, and a soldier’s chronic diarrhoea remedy.
Excerpts from Daniel and Ezekiel Webster letters reveal early 1800s college hardship. Mortgage on the home farm funded Daniel's education while Ezekiel faced cold, frugal days, hunting for money, cloth, and jobs as they pursued Latin studies and icebound meals. The notes detail family strain, debts, and small sums awaiting payment amidst stark poverty.
